MLB run by loony loons
Lots of points to cover here as Joe Kelly, the Dodgers pitcher who threw a 96-mph heater behind and over the head of Alex Bregman on Tuesday night.
We all know Kelly, who also heckled Carlos Correa with a “Nice swing, Bleep (a word that sounds like witch and Websters says is actually a female dog)” after striking out the Astros shortstop, was doing the cosmos and karmic work that every Astros player and every baseball fan knew was coming as soon as the MLB investigation revealed a high-tech sign stealing scheme that helped the Houston Cheaters win the 2017 World Series.
The team they beat in that series? Yep, the Dodgers.
So Kelly did what we all expected to happen in large part because baseball has forever allowed the game to police itself. Yes, I think it’s completely ridiculous that a pitcher who gives up a 500-foot homer gets the A-OK to zoom a 95-mph heater at some dude who flipped his bat or took a few extra seconds watching that rocket leave or circling the bases after it.
Here’s an idea pitchers? Don’t want hitters celebrating or slow-walking a home run trot, keep the dang ball in the ballpark. Don’t worry about the ‘unwritten rules’ and all the rest. Do your job and keep your temper in check, goofball.
